Same here, I have come to appreciate having 4 distinguishable seasons.

We have mountainous areas with lakes and forests. We have desert regions. We even somewhat have flat farm land (not quite "plains" but similar, open landscape). While the beach-y areas definitely are *mostly* sunny year round, you can definitely see stuff like leaves changing colors and snow depending on the mountains you visit or choose to live in. Also, if you think summers are always sunny and warm in California, I'd encourage you to visit Daly City or the Sunset District of SF with Ocean Beach in July. It gets very cold in the summer around those parts. Not "brrr snow" cold, but chilly with very dense fog and also wind. On some cold nights that time of year you may even get down to 45 or 50ish in your house. Of course, drive just 10 miles south or east and that fog burns off and you have hot 80's or higher during the summer.

Honestly lately I've had the itch to live in Japan.
I've just had such a great time on both trips there in the past couple years. The scenery, architecture, nature, food, and culture are pretty wonderful. But on the other hand, I also don't fit in with all of the different culture there, so I think being realistic I could never do it. But there's so much there that I do enjoy. I've also been able to make friends with so many people despite the language barrier, so it doesn't seem impossible to have somewhat of a social life there despite the fact that many Japanese would see me as an outsider. The crazy thing is that ever since my first trip there last year, and especially since my trip there in February, I can't stop thinking about Japan in some form almost every day. It probably doesn't help that I see my Japanese friends on social media hanging out/going tracking at the circuit/whatever and feel like I'm missing out. A week or two ago I had a dream I was living there, and in the past few days I had another dream where I was driving a RHD BRZ/86 there (which I've actually done both times I visited). I don't usually have such vivid dreams lol. And plus when ya meet a girl somewhere that obviously intensifies the feelings toward that place . *coughs*

But yes, that's why I personally picked the northeastern US. I like my seasons. And Fall foliage... Last edited by Spuds; 10-08-2020 at 12:17 AM. Reason: Spelling |

Hi Jacky, I've lived and worked in 24 countries on 4 Continents and my answer to your question is "it depends". In the recent past I'd say Oz, particularly Noosa Heads with its tropical environs, great sports car roads, friendly locals and women who find some weird attraction to Yanks. Since then, like so many other nations, #1 demographics, #2 politics, and #3 taxes determine lifestyle. Not so long ago #1 was topless beaches but strangely pocketbook issues overcame lust, call it long term planning. With that in mind, ask again November 4th. There are still a few US states on my list or the alternative, Cayman Islands since I don't speak Portuguese. |
